If, however, you aren’t offended by copious amounts of swearing and ranting, if you enjoy Hot Dead Guys and Chicks, psychic phenomena, snide commentary, dramatic and/or pseudo-dramatic storytelling, and the occasional post about Pickles the Cat, then you’re in the right place.

Come on in and fix yourself a drink or two. Help yourself to some hors d’oeuvres. And pay no mind to the guy over there lying in the pool of blood. He’s just…sleeping.

Oh good, I’m not the only one that thinks this… old-school weebles were a solid part of my early childhood. I had a Weebles submarine and loved it so much. A picture of it (and me) exists, somewhere in my folks’ house.

Hello sir! I never had Weebles as a child. I was severely deprived. So I had to make up for it as an adult by acquiring Weebles on eBay. I seem to recall a friend having the Weebles submarine. Good times. Those newfangled Weebles that are out now aren’t the same. I weep for kids today, not knowing what a real Weeble looks like.

I forgot to say that I am inspired to borrow a photo from my folks of me with that awesome submarine. Thank you!

p.s. as you are in NYC, I don’t suppose you’ve heard of Suckadelic? I don’t think he should ever do a Weebles send-up, for old-school Weebles are perfect as is, but he’s done some funky fun things with molds of old toys, and I was just wondering if you were familiar with him.

HAHA…. I love it… brillant blog…
I also have a serious preference to fancy pens that make my writing appear much more artistic than it is and I am a huge and possibly only 1 of ten people who love to still use pencils ! Thanks for your follow! I look forward to your posts! 🙂

Thank you for your follow as well—also, I love Irish stuff (and as you’ll discover if you peruse through my entries, I have a serious thing for Irish men in particular) so I will be looking forward to reading more of your blog.

Thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I like what you are doing here, though I never played with Weebles when I was a kid.
What do professional historians do?
I could get used to a blog like this. twinkly

And thank you for stopping by and following mine as well. I also never played with Weebles when I was a kid, so I’m making up for lost time. I now have a huge collection of Weebles on my desk and they’re threatening to take over.

Professional historians who aren’t professors aren’t the norm, but they exist. I did writing/research/curating for museum exhibitions, mostly. It was fun, but eventually I sold out—it’s hard to make a living as a historian unless you have a trust fund or a sugar daddy. And sadly, I have neither.

I just rescued two more of your comments from spam—I don’t understand, there’s no reason why it shold do that, and there’s no way to tell the WP spam filter to recognize certain comments/sources as legitimate. Not sure why WP is tinkering around, if things ain’t broke, they shouldn’t fix.

Cher Madame,
I have added your blog to my blog roll. But do not get too excited. I don’t have high hits and no one seems to attend to my blogroll. But I know you’re there and I know you belong! twinkly

You stopped by one of my blogs today…the boring one. I would like to invite you to http://nothobblingnow.wordpress.com/ there you will find everything you are hoping for. Okay, maybe not everything, but it is the fun blog.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, but it was just recently I clicked on your gravatar to confirm whether in fact the kitten was doing what I thought it was. Any particular target in the cross-hairs?

Love your blog! You are funny…love the subway man-junk seat hogs! Here on the west coast we don’t have subways, but those same well-endowed guys are here…they drive really big trucks to indicate their manliness or lack of. Whenever I see one I can’t help but yell out…there’s a stubby! Maybe try that on the subway!
Thanks for checking my blog out, I’m glad to know you!

Dear Madame Weeble, thank you for deigning my scribblings to be worthy of your attention. At the very least, I am obnoxiously purple, so I’m glad I could please on that front. I’m off to read more as you seem to be exactly my cup of tea.

Hi – I really like your place. And your name. I’m very hungry and Chinese is arriving soon. I am going to follow you and then comment on your writing pretty often. Wonderful place here, Weebles. Lalalalalalala I’ve had too many beers and I am hungry. Here comes the food. I’m in on your site.

Welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here! Fountain pens aren’t a really popular thing, but they’re fun to write with, and the inks are such pretty colors. And television, well, I’m a junkie, I can’t help myself.

-shiver- I’m so old I remember /having/ to use fountain pens when I went to school. I also remember being forced to learn how to write all my letters leaning to the right, with each one exactly the same height as its neighbours. Horrible. Caligraphy however is kinda fun.

Cool! I’ve had many a friend before, but never an honest-to-goodness Madame! Well, there WAS that one time in Columbus, Georgia, but that was during a sci-fi/fantasy con, so I’m not counting THAT one…… 😀

I don’t know if I’d say that – I met my wife-to-be at a Dallas con, and ended up bringing her up to Chicago to marry me! 😀 (But more details will follow in my upcoming post.)
Oh, and don’t take this as anything creepy, but I think you have one of the sexiest Email addresses I’ve ever seen! (This from a guy who defines “Top Gun” as F-14 porn, and frequently asks “Tom WHO?”. 😀 )

Key point – asymmetric. Single-engined fuselage with tail to the left, canopy on the wing to the right. Crazy-looking, but actually flew well! (It’s a REALLY rare thing to find anybody who’s even heard of the dang thing! 😀 )
I think I need to Email you on the side – if that’s cool with you. (Yes, I need to ask permission – I don’t need any more jealous husbands tracking me down. Um … er … not that I have any doing so NOW – wait, who is that outside? Oopsgottagocatchyalater!)

Hello there, Talk to Me, and welcome! No need to feel old, the point I make here is that I’m an old lady DESPITE being only 44. I’ve always been a cranky old lady, really, even when I was 10. I’m just starting to grow into it now. 😉

don’t think you can escape me so easily–so happy to see you are back and I am other bothering you to offer you my iron–I never use it (well that is not true–I used it once this year). Glad you are back (hugs)

On this American Thanksgiving day (I am not American, but using it anyway), I am saying thanks to Jen for linking me up with some great bloggers! Loolking forward to sharing the weebles…!
Talking about old school things…I love my LP player and I think the jumping up to change the record every 6 songs is helping to work off the chocolate that I shouldn’t have had?

Oh yes, I do have an LP player, and it is not even an old one! I bought it about 2 years ago, and I love it. Playing all these old records on it, and trawling the flea markets for old records. Pretty cool, me thinks! I vote for the LP player to make a comeback :-). Have a great weekend.

I keep falling behind in answering comments, I’m so sorry, MG—thank you so much, and high-five for preferring animals to people. I will spend some time on your blog, my new crusty forty-something friend.

You sound like an interesting broad. Followed you here from Valerie’s place, you followed me in the comments section, and you seemed to know alot about Abraham and be very sympathetic to his spouse. Looks like this could be an interesting place to hang out.

Bonjour Corinne! Thank you so much for visiting! You sound like an interesting broad yourself, I took a peek at your blog and liked what I saw. Poor Abe had a tough gig as president, and his wife was a mess but still, no reason for her son to put her away. Not nice. Please come back and visit anytime you want!

HI Claudia Bette (how do you prefer to be called?)!! I’m behind in replying to comments, so sorry. Say hi to your son Lincoln for me! I love how you said you didn’t name him Abraham because it would be like naming him after someone from the Bible. You’re my kind of gal.

Hi! Claudia is fine 🙂
If I named him Abraham, people would think of Abraham from the bible which isn’t a bad thing for me, but that is not what I was trying to get across. I wanted him to be Lincoln because then people would think of Lincoln our 16th president.
And he gets a kick out of how people react to his name. And of course, how many times he hears it randomly. Like when Lincoln (the Speilberg movie) came out…he watched the Academy Awards just to see Lincoln win. Ha!

Weebs, I’ve just seen on my blog stats that you were my third most frequent commenter on my blog in 2013. You are officially amazeballs and I’m going to start building our treehouse pretty darn soon.
Thanks so much for your support this year, and Happy New Year from me and Stickman xx
